Tim Tomashek TKO7 Gus Lesnevich: A cut over Lesnevich's right eye, suffered early in the first, reopened in the seventh, leading to a controversial stoppage. Lesnevich had a clear lead on all three cards, not having lost a round in the eyes of two judges, and Tomashek had been bleeding from a cut on his right eyebrow since the fifth round.

Lesnevich's cut, however, was more severe and referee Genaro Rodriguez said the amount of blood running into Lesnevich's eye left him with no choice but to act 18 seconds into the seventh.

Jimmy Darcy W10 Terry Daniels: Daniels suffered a torn mouth in the sixth that never quite stopped bleeding the rest of the way, was docked a point for a low blow in the ninth and was dropped twice in the final minute of the fight. The foul deduction gave Darcy a 10-8 edge in the ninth and a 10-7 margin in the 10th, helping him seal a unanimous win by scores of 97-91 (twice) and 96-92.

Crawford Grimsley TKO6 Daniel Eduardo Neto: Grimsley floors the pudgy Argentinian with a quick left-right to the head in the second round and finishes him with a series of sixth-round left hooks that leave Neto defenseless along the ropes, forcing referee Tommy Kimmons to intervene with four seconds remaining.

Steffen Tangstad W10 Jack Munroe: Tangstad uses a steady jab and effective body punching to keep Munroe at bay in the early going, then stands his ground when The Cape Breton Miner forces him into toe-to-toe action in the late rounds. The judges agree on only four rounds, but are unanimous in giving the decision to the Norwegian by scores of 97-93 (twice) and 96-94.

Dominick McCaffrey W10 Jewey Smith: Smith lands more punches (230-198), is equally accurate and floors McCaffrey for a nine-count with an eighth-round uppercut, but somehow loses a split decision.

McCaffrey, who was also hurt badly in the fifth, finished strong in taking both the ninth and 10th, with Smith wobbling about the ring as he managed to make it to the final bell. Still, the crowd at Omaha Civic Center issued a resounding chorus of boos when two judges awarded McCaffrey the win by scores of 95-94 and 96-93. The third judge scored it for Smith, 95-94.

Pat Valentino TKO6 Jean-Pierre Coopman: Boos accompany another controversial ending, as a severe cut over Coopman's left eye deal The Lion of Flanders a loss in a bout he was winning. Coopman was up 49-47 on all three cards when a right cross by Valentino reopened the wound that was inflicted two rounds earlier.

Bert Cooper W10 Jack Palmer: Cooper's heavier shots outweigh Palmer's smart boxing and a pair of ninth-round knockdowns seal a unanimous nod for Smokin' Bert. Palmer barely makes it through the ninth, only to come out on the short end of three identical 97-91 scores.

Chuck Wepner KO4 James J. Walker: After sleepwalking through three rounds against perhaps the least deserving challenger in the history of heavyweight boxing, The Bayonne Bleeder finally comes to after tasting his own blood early in the fourth.

Moments after a left hook from Walker -- who had lost all five of his recorded fights by knockout when he was tapped to take on Tommy Burns, who stopped him in the first -- opened up a cut inside his mouth, Wepner unloaded a right cross that dropped J.J. for the full count.
